So I live in SoCal, more specifically. North Hollywood  AKA "The Valley".

The weather in the valley is mostly between 5-10 degrees warmer than the surrounding LA neighborhoods. Of course that can be nice on occasion.

So on an unexpected surge in temperature, you need something to calm and cool your bod, right?

What better than watermelon!!!!

I've experimented with two juicing concoctions that include watermelon, that are quite tasty...

WATERMELON
PINEAPPLE/RADISH/GINGER

( The Following images contain one or more of the listed ingredients above, the juice color result was the same.)

As the quest for better hydration continues. I have finally purchased dandelion greens to juice. Because of the potency of this green. It is best to consume it small quantities. Thus only juice a small hand full or about 7-10 leaves. Warning:This juice is extremely sharp and bitter in taste.

Taste as you go, to adjust bitterness. For the next juice with Dandelion Greens, I will add some pineapple or more apple.

2 Green Apples
7-10 dandelion leaves
1 med. bunch of spinach
1 grapefruit
radishes
2-3 celery stalks
1 kiwi
1 cucumber
1/2 bunch parsley

After juice was complete, i topped it off with juice of half a lime, to cut the bitterness. ENJOY!!

Since buying an Omega juicer, a few months back as a way to get my hydration issues under control.
I slacked off for a short time, So to get back on track.....


Beginning a challenge to juice once or two a day.

Today's juice: (Juiced in this order) 

1in piece of Ginger

1 Red Grapefruit

1 Fuji Apple

2 Celery Stalks

4 carrots

 **** This combination produce about 16oz of juice


The Grapefruit was definitely the star in this, I would recommend increasing the number of apples and/or carrots, to balance the grapefruit.

All in all, this combination was not too bad, on to the next...
